But First Must He Suffer

But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Luke 17:25

There is a pattern in our lives, where suffering precedes joy. To really carry it out to its fullness we need to go beyond this life. We will go beyond this life. Christ set the model for this in his suffering in this world.

We do not see what lies ahead in its fullness. We only have the promises of what will be.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: Daniel 7:14

Is there any loss which He cannot restore? Only in our new bodies can we partake in the joy that awaits us.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18

About

Welcome. My name is Kymber and I have had the incredible good fortune to meet a new friend, The Last Robin.
We met through some funny circumstances over email and instantly became friends. We shared a bit about ourselves with each other and he also shared many of his stories. I was profoundly touched by his clear and elegant writing style, and also by the way he expressed complex ideas in such a simple manner. I knew that these stories needed to be shared with others!
I encouraged him to start a blog. He needed a bit of a push and a little more encouragement before finally agreeing to post all of his beautiful stories, his thoughts, ideas and musings. Trust me - he is a prolific writer AND has many, many ideas.
I hope that all of you who stop here will:
- appreciate the amount of time that The Last Robin has spent over the years writing his stories.
- come away after reading his stories and musings with a question or two in your hearts and minds with a different perspective.
- be as touched by his stories as I was after I first read some of them.
It gives me great honour and pleasure to introduce my friend, my Dear Uncle, The Last Robin.
Thank you to all who stop by!
